Great, I suggest moving this discussion to debian-devel and you post
it to the other two lists but not -devel :)

One should be able to deduce this from the -Style option instead
of cluttering the package with more fields. I'm beginning to see
the point of merging the two fields and have debbugs://bugs.debian.org/
instead.

Nee, see above.

No. What if we split Debian into modular bits each with their own
BTS? (Consider an evil law as a result of which we can't put bug
information for non-US in the main BTS)

The -Style already implies this.
